TODAY IN HISTORY
NUMBER-TWO ON THIS DAY IN 1960
"Chain Gang" was written and recorded by Sam Cooke. It was his
second-biggest hit since “You Send Me” in 1957. Cooke had 30 top
40 hits between 1957 and 1964, and a further three after his death.
BELOVED PUPPETEER BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1936
RARE PHOTO OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN FOUND
An ultra rare photo of Abraham Lincoln (center) taken during the time of his
address at Gettysburg was discovered by a former Disney animator.
FoxNews – Historians rejoiced at the discovery of the second photo ever found of Abraham Lincoln at the Gettysburg address six years ago. The blurry photo was
found by amateur historian John Richter who picked out the president while on
horseback saluting the troops from among a sea of faces (below).
Tuesday morning, with the help of improved technology, former Disney animator Christopher Oakley announced he had found Lincoln in the same crowd — only his Lincoln is a few yards to the right in front of the speaker’s stand. Richter’s Lincoln
is just a top-hat-wearing doppelganger, Oakley says.
Now, historians who once supported Richter’s photo are switching sides and saying Oakley’s photo is the real deal.
